ElKabong3913 LadySmith
The 3913 was the cream of the crop in concealed carry when I was just getting in to guns
3rd Gen smiths in general are some of my favorites
Picked this up at a gun show this weekend
$525 with 4 factory mags and 1 aftermarket
I felt like it was a great deal with the mags.
No box, but it’s pretty great shape compared to most of them I see
They’re usually either safe queens or been carried hard.
This one’s just worn enough to have no problem shooting it.

OaklaneThat’s a great deal in today’s market in my opinion. A 3913 was my first serious concealed carry gun. I traded it off when I thought I “needed” something better, more high capacity. Probably one of my biggest regrets of guns I got rid of. I still have a CS9 but it doesn’t do much for me. I hope to find another 3913 again or like you a LS. They are/where great guns

The logo ? Or something else ?

parabellumYes, the logo. I never ran across the version you mentioned.

I’ve owned the LadySmith, the no logo and the Cs9 (close cousin)
Never grabbed the TSW , but I prefer the slicker profile of the standard gun

patwAt times, I have owned both the non-label and the Ladysmith 3913. From what I can remember, the biggest difference with the guns was that the non-label gun had ambi-safety/decockers.I have to say they were both nice shooting guns. Congrats.

SiGagainI have the “value series” model 908S and it has a wonderful trigger…better than the SIG P239/9mm I was looking to purchase at the time…and I am a SIG guy who disliked most all 3rd series S&W pistols I’d tried prior…
Enjoy that Lady Smith 3913…

Syngin1066I have a standard 3913 and it’s one of my favorite carry guns because it’s so thin. I have been hunting for a NL one for years but everyone seems to think they are made of solid gold. Hope you enjoy your new blaster!

ScotP7Great find. Congratulations.
Had one exactly like yours years ago, mistakenly traded it away. Great gun.
Enjoy.

PCWyomingNice find.
My 3914 and CS9 are safe queens.
The 908 gets carried.

Mars_AttacksMy older brother has the regular 3913. One of the best carry pistols Smith has ever produced.

DA/SA, but this model uses a single-sided safety.

94hokieHad a cs9 I bought at a show back in the early 2000s for maybe $225 and sadly sold it. That was a smooth shooter. That 3913 looks sweet.
